About all I do is not wear my Ugg boots in the obs. They have rubber soles and seem to generate static electricity. My freezer boots are OK though.
Static from the Ugg boots was just a nuisance until one occasion when I got a good zap off the mount, and then it refused to behave for the rest of the session. I had to shut the mount down without being able to park it, and lost all my EQMOD alignment points
